Where do you get your gaming news? (self.games)

I was wondering where everyone went to get news, reviews, trailers, etc. IGN has always left a bad taste in my mouth with their seemingly bias reviews. I used to go to the gaming, games, Xbox, and a couple other smaller niche subreddits to gather the vast majority of the info. Now I'd like some advice on what others favorite sites are. Bonus points if it has an app. Thanks!

I went a bit different route to get info about the games I play the most. I realized that most of them have an official discord with announcement channels that have all the updates. So in one of my discord servers I created a game feed category and a channel for each game. Then subscribed each game channel to the matching announcement channels from the official servers. It has worked really great for quickly seeing what’s going on with each game.  It actually ended up working so well that I ended up doing the same thing for RSS feeds for things outside of gaming too. Now I just check my Info Hub to see what’s new.
